Can you promote in r/anticonsumption?
Consumerism Kills
The short answer
Avoid mentioning your product or company; contribute human-generated, non-promotional commentary about consumerism and only engage if your help is purely informational and not sales-oriented.
What works here
- Posting articles, videos, or critical discussion about consumerism
- Obscuring brand names when sharing ads and adding critical commentary
- Human-generated posts about related topics (sustainability, planned obsolescence, etc.)
What gets posts removed
- Soliciting product or brand recommendations or promoting your product/service
- Posting commercial links, launches, demos, or customer-recruiting messages
- Using AI-only content or attempting to skirt the recommendation rule by 'hinting' at brands

Rule explicitly forbids recommending or soliciting recommendations for specific brands, products, stores, apps, subscriptions, and software.
Ads must obscure brands and include criticism
Ads are allowed only if brands are obscured and accompanied by meaningful criticism or explanation — not a permit for promotion.
Human-generated content required
Posts must be primarily human-generated, limiting automated promotional content.
Subreddit focus
Community centers on criticizing consumer culture, making promotional participation misaligned with intent.
